Review:
'Gertrude and Alice' refers to the author Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, her lifelong companion and muse. After Gertrude's death, Alice published her memoirs in the guise of a cookbook. Some of her recipes are used at the café. The bookshop was started in an old surf shop, with a stock of 40000 second-hand books. It now sells new and used, fiction, non-fiction and collectible books. It is a gathering place where writers, readers, actors and artists can eat, drink, read and attend literary and musical events. The shop has appeared in several films, commercials and photo shoots.
